Why doesn't someone think of a way to control or track the sales of Body Armour or Bullet Proof Vests? I mean these latest multi-shooting suspects BOUGHT THOSE first before commiting their crimes. Maybe buying protection from bullets is the last factor before these people go wild?

It's just something I'd noticed....that everyone has been missing that these shooters buy all sorts of "protection" just before they use their Mom's guns(well,in this guy's case anyway) to kill people.

Many countries, including England/Scotland, have not been immune to the perils of gun-toting lunatics.We have made possession of hand guns illegal since the tragedy in Dunblane many years ago. There was an incident in Hungerford prior to that, after which possession of assault rifles was criminalised.(I don't know specifics of laws etc).

Until the next time, these laws seem to be working insofar as there is no logical reason for any person to have these weapons in their possession, and the law being black and white on the matte, there have been no further mass shootings.

We never had a 'gun culture' like the USA so historically there isn't as much 'Constitutional' bullshit to deal with.

Every time one of these episodes occurs, the rest of the world looks on, saddened by the USA's pathetic level of impotence, and inability to confront sad home truths.You've got the second amendment. Have another amendment for fucks sake. You got rid of Prohibition (the result of what, the 29th amendment?) when it suited.

You've got a gun, you're just another pig to me.

BTW I am not pointing a finger at any particular forum member, just the US as a whole.

Simple answer Cut gun owners up with a Razor Blade i mean go search they house and cut them up on the spot Asshole first and good so they never sit down again maybe then send them of too war with a Dusting feather while bleeding with a pack of hungery wolfs if they suvive that then kill them slow take a limp or too of them and stop them bleeding too death that will do the trick

The Dutch constitution changed over and over, especially in the early 1900s. The last major overhaul was in 1983, when capital punishment was outlawed, independence of Surinam was finalised and Amsterdam became the official capital of The Netherlands. There have been minor revisions since, the last one in 2008. The most recent amendment proposal of the US constitution was in 1971, right to vote for 18 and over. There have been amendments since, but they were proposed earlier.

Boys: The times are changing. 1971 is before CDs hit the market. Don't staple yourself to old bits of paper.

We are married to the Constitution in the US, by the way Assult type weapon sales have increased so much since the shootings some sellers have stopped selling in hopes the price will double of triple...also a bullet proof kids back pack has goon out on the market...

It's sad, but look: not all knives. There's an axe, a hammer, and a box cutter. I have absolutely no idea what could cause this kind of... epidemic, almost. But there's still no comparing it to the amount of gun-related killings in the US.

I don't hear anybody blaming the knife

If some body came at me with a knife i be willing too take a bit and more willing too give they face a real good ending with a smashed bottle or worse,i even been in that situation and the knife older backed down straight away

Plus it makes it harder for the assailant to take his/her own life at the end of the spree; with a knife.

But my point lies with the blame.People automaticaly blame the gun in these situations.

They express their condolences for the victims. Then in the next breath they talk about gun control.

Plus if things go wrong for them it may be better too take they own life than end up with them being a foot or too shorter after they knees been cut off or worse,questions and answers find and maim it ain't rocket science before they do min wage i be knoking the doors myself.
